2 Corinthians 7

1Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

ταυτας ουν εχοντες τας επαγγελιας, αγαπητοι, καθαρισωμεν εαυτους απο παντος μολυσμου σαρκος και πνευματος, επιτελουντες αγιωσυνην εν φοβω θεου.

2Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one.

χωρησατε ημας· ουδενα ηδικησαμεν, ουδενα εφθειραμεν, ουδενα επλεονεκτησαμεν.

3I do not say this to condemn; for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

ου προς κατακρισιν λεγω· προειρηκα γαρ οτι εν ταις καρδιαις ημων εστε εις το συναποθανειν και συζην.

4Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation.

πολλη μοι παρρησια προς υμας, πολλη μοι καυχησις υπερ υμων· πεπληρωμαι τη παρακλησει, υπερπερισσευομαι τη χαρα επι παση τη θλιψει ημων.

5For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears.

και γαρ ελθοντων ημων εις μακεδονιαν ουδεμιαν εσχηκεν ανεσιν η σαρξ ημων, αλλ εν παντι θλιβομενοι· εξωθεν μαχαι, εσωθεν φοβοι.

6Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

αλλ ο παρακαλων τους ταπεινους παρεκαλεσεν ημας ο θεος εν τη παρουσια τιτου·

7and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

ου μονον δε εν τη παρουσια αυτου, αλλα και εν τη παρακλησει η παρεκληθη εφ υμιν, αναγγελλων ημιν την υμων επιποθησιν, τον υμων οδυρμον, τον υμων ζηλον υπερ εμου, ωστε με μαλλον χαρηναι,

8For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while.

οτι ει και ελυπησα υμας εν τη επιστολη, ου μεταμελομαι, ει και μετεμελομην· βλεπω γαρ οτι η επιστολη εκεινη, ει και προς ωραν, ελυπησεν υμας.

9Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

νυν χαιρω, ουχ οτι ελυπηθητε, αλλ οτι ελυπηθητε εις μετανοιαν· ελυπηθητε γαρ κατα θεον, ινα εν μηδενι ζημιωθητε εξ ημων.

10For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

η γαρ κατα θεον λυπη μετανοιαν εις σωτηριαν αμεταμελητον κατεργαζεται· η δε του κοσμου λυπη θανατον κατεργαζεται.

11For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

ιδου γαρ αυτο τουτο, το κατα θεον λυπηθηναι υμας, ποσην κατειργασατο υμιν σπουδην, αλλα απολογιαν, αλλα αγανακτησιν, αλλα φοβον, αλλα επιποθησιν, αλλα ζηλον, αλλα εκδικησιν! εν παντι συνεστησατε εαυτους αγνους ειναι εν τω πραγματι.

12Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.

αρα ει και εγραψα υμιν, ουχ εινεκεν του αδικησαντος, ουδε εινεκεν του αδικηθεντος, αλλ εινεκεν του φανερωθηναι την σπουδην υμων την υπερ ημων προς υμας ενωπιον του θεου.

13Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

δια τουτο παρακεκλημεθα. επι δε τη παρακλησει υμων περισσοτερως μαλλον εχαρημεν επι τη χαρα τιτου, οτι αναπεπαυται το πνευμα αυτου απο παντων υμων·

14For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting to Titus was found true.

οτι ει τι αυτω υπερ υμων κεκαυχημαι, ου κατησχυνθην, αλλ ως παντα εν αληθεια ελαλησαμεν υμιν, ουτως και η καυχησις ημων η επι τιτου αληθεια εγενηθη.

15And his affections are greater for you as he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.

και τα σπλαγχνα αυτου περισσοτερως εις υμας εστιν αναμιμνησκομενου την παντων υμων υπακοην, ως μετα φοβου και τρομου εδεξασθε αυτον.

16Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.

χαιρω οτι εν παντι θαρρω εν υμιν.
